id programmer Timothee Besset's .plan file announces that they are at E3 showing off Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the Mac Quake 4 patch mentioned earlier, and gives word on patches to close exploits in Quake 3 Arena, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, as well as a new Linux installer for RTCW:

Updates to Quake III Arena, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are releasing updates to all three games to fix some security issues discovered following our release of the Quake III Arena source code under GPL.

5e55095e654732063621a2ffa95a2da3 quake3-1.32c.zip [1]
2626b20fc545caa72676677809221d73 Wolf-1.41b.zip [2]
fb83b8732fc7373c277180b663debf57 ET-2.60b.zip [3]

The zips hold binaries for all the operating systems we support. You need to upgrade to the latest through the usual installers first, and replace the engine binaries with the newer ones.

The issues fixed are CVE-2006-2082 ( information leak ), and a buffer overflow exploitable by malicious servers ( CVE-2006-2236 ). More details are in the README.txt in each zip.

Updated GNU/Linux Return To Castle Wolfenstein 1.41b installer:
---------------------------------------------------------------

While working on the above I realized the latest GNU/Linux installer for RTCW was quite broken, so I repackaged it into a full setup.

Uhh, where do I put the files? Sorry, but I'm used to recent patches that just install themselves. Plus, the readme files don't tell ya squat. I'm guessing that I just extract them into my Quake III Arena folder, using folder names. Just want to make sure before I screw things up. I've only d/l'd the Q3 patch so far.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

and replace the engine binaries with the newer ones.

Extract the zip to temp folder/directory.
Open folder.
Notice 3 sub folders/directories, "macosx", "linux" and "win32".
Open up the one that your system is, and copy those corresponding files into/over the files of the same name in your games folder/directory.
